Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Easy to peel hard boiled eggs cooked in Instant Pot, using foolproof 5-5-5 method. You will have perfectly cooked eggs every single time!

I love to cook a big batch of hard boiled eggs, refrigerate, and use them during the week. They are great for breakfasts, lunch (like egg salad), or even dinner (you can put them in a green salad, or a buddha bowl).

So, if you want to have perfectly cooked eggs every single time, you should use Instant Pot!

You can make hard boiled eggs that are easy to peel in just 15 minutes! To do that, I like to use a popular 5-5-5 technique.

5-5-5 method for hard boiled eggs

This technique is the most popular because it works! But what does 5-5-5 mean?

• 5 minutes cook time
• 5 minutes natural release
• 5 minutes ice water bath

How to make perfect hard boiled eggs in Instant Pot

If you have trouble cooking eggs on the stove, your pressure cooker will do a great job!

Pour 1 cup of water in Instant Pot.

Place a trivet inside and put the eggs on top of it.

Then, close the top and make sure it’s sealed. Set the cooking time for 5 minutes on high pressure.

When done, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then open the valve to release the steam.

Now you can place the eggs in ice bath for 5 minutes. Done!

You’ll be surprised how easy it is to peel these eggs!

After the eggs are cooked and cooled, crack them from the top or by rolling it on the counter. The peel should come off easily without sticking to the egg white.

How many eggs can you boil in Instant Pot

I usually like to make sure that all the eggs fit in one layer. So you can easily cook 12 eggs at a time.

How long do hard boiled eggs last

If you don’t use the eggs right after cooking, it is always better to refrigerate them. That way they can last for up to 7 days.
